Newly Renovated Capewell Lofts In Hartford

Hartford is seeing a boom in renovations and projects throughout the city. There are more than two dozen developments underway — from restorations of historic factories to the rethinking of downtown neighborhoods, the addition of hundreds of apartments and a new regional campus for UConn. Here are some examples of the growth Hartford is experiencing.

The revitalization of the former M. Swift & Sons gold leaf factory in the Northeast neighborhood of Hartford by Community Solutions is now underway after eight years. The revived space will include a lease for a commissary kitchen for Bears Smokehouse, an aquaponics farm to grow produce, shared offices for startup businesses, and a community health clinic.

Foxwoods Resort & Casino hosted its annual St. Patrick's Day Shamrocked Pub Crawl on March 17. Bar crawlers from the event enjoyed drink specials across the resort and the event culminated in a party at Fox Centrale in the Fox Tower Hotel.
